Should gays be allowed to adopt?
by Kenneson ini watched an interesting program last night (i believe on primetime), wherein diane sawyers interviewed rosie o'donnell.. the topic centered on gays and adoption.
rosie recently came out of the closet in order to extend her support to florida gays who are prohibited by law to adopt.
rosie, herself, has three children.. some of these gays, by the way, are foster parents.

JW's Claim the Truth...Where's the Proof
by Double Edge inok, i'm a senior member, but still 'new' to this board.
since i'm not a jw or ex-jw, can someone please explain to me how jw's trace their 'authority' to be the true church that god set up.
a jw friend of mine said they go back 6,000 years.

The Red "Cross"
by Will Power inseeing the new logo for the red cross today, it dawned on me that the wt might not have such an aversion to blood as much as what they call a demonic symbol - the cross that represents the organization that eventually provided a blood service.
back in the old days of the wt, blood transfusions were not an issue, mostly because they weren't done.. their ridiculous stance on other organizations such as the ymca, salvation army, united nations, show that their aversion to the red cross must also include the symbol of the cross and judging by the mandates & phylosophy of the red cross below (from their web site), they might have seen them as competition!.
the distinctive red cross emblem, first used in 1864, symbolizes our neutrality and humanitarian mandate.

Not a bad little hangout!
by Yadirf ini was looking at a magazine while waiting for my son to come out from seeing his doctor a couple of weeks ago, and it had an article in it about dick cheney.
(i think it was a magazine named architecture.
) it showed pictures of the home cheney is favored with living in during his tenure as vice president of the united states.
